Hello, slightly renamed (because I could not keep my earlier monicker) but I am back and thrilled by our start to the new season, it is panning out as I had hoped and we are not goal shy, which is very much what NA promised.
The opening fixture was obviously disappointing but thereafter we have now run up three successive away wins which is stunning (well it is for us). That said, having endured listening to the Brentford game on Tuesday night the scoreline did flatter us a bit, but we took our chances and that is all you can do in such circumstances. JR was also immense in goal producing probably his best performance for a very long time. I am generally a realist in life (possibly more pessimistic regarding the Canaries) but I would from here expect us to certainly finish in the top 6 without too much trouble and feel that we are 50/50 for automatic promotion.
When you look at our first 7 fixtures we have played the vast majority against teams in the top half and so can reasonably expect a decent run in the following half a dozen fixtures by which time the league positions will settle down and a sense of stability will come to the table. Will the Charlton bubble burst for example and surely Fulham will improve - won't they? And to complete the relegated teams, Cardiff look in disarray which is largely again down to foreign owners and their crazy unrealistic aspirations and demands, something that I have commented on many times previously!
Our squad is very strong on paper and all credit to NA and GH for getting the group together and the team itself off to a solid start, long may it all continue. I feel like this will be a wonderful season to be a Canary.
